I love meat. I'm a typical Saffa chick... braai it, roast it, fry it, crumb it... but make sure that it is on my plate. Yes I do the meat free Monday thing, but for the rest of the time, meat is on my menu.

As things are getting more expensive, there is a move to the thought process of " I would rather pay a bit more for better quality if I'm going to have to pay through my nose anyway" and honestly it's nice to find somewhere that standing in front of the fridge provides inspiration... not just the sound of a sobbing wallet.

A few months back, a little shop opened in the Lakeside Center on Main Road, Lakeside.... The Braai Revolution. What caught my interest first was the play on words with the name, I mean come on, EVERYONE knows the Real Meal Revolution.... but what was this?

I ran into the guys from Braai Revolution at the Banting Market at the end of May, and after a chat they very kindly offered me some free meat to try out. 2 weeks later I took them up on their offer. I picked up: 2x Pork Loin chops, Lamb sausage, French garlic pork sausages and a gianormous (that is a word in my world!) piece of biltong.

The first to go were the French Garlic pork bangers.

There are 6 in a pack so we had 2 each for dinner and the remaining 2 fried for breakfast. I microwaved the first 4 for 4 mins on high then they got tossed onto the fire.

Once cooked we sliced them and had them on lightly toasted panini's with German mustard, grilled onions and home grown baby spinach. I cannot tell you how good that was. Mr. Moo and I just sat there, not speaking, with the juice running down our chins and grinning like mad people.

I'm sorry to say there are no photos of those loin chops....we ate them too fast. I do have this one tho of before they were cooked.

The pork was sweet and the fat...well lets just say we didn't cut that off lol. I haven't had such succulent pork in years.

The biltong we just wont speak about.... even I am ashamed at how fast I was able to consume that large piece. The biltong isn't cheap but I can promise you that theirs tastes very unique. I was told why and honestly it is the best tasting biltong I have had in YEARS!!!

Look, at the end of the day, you can get cheaper meat at your local supermarket, but you wont get better quality. This is the real thing, the meat we had as kids that gave us boundless energy, that we stood and ate hot off the braai, burning our fingers with juice running down our chins.... it is real, wholesome meat with undeniable quality. The guys have brought your local butchery back, with some nice extras like braai wood and salt boards and a host of other cool stuff.

I was very impressed by the real quality of their meat, but suggest you take trip and visit them yourself. Take some money and go buy a few things.... then decide for yourself. They on Facebook:
